More about Nico Muhly: Drawn Lines
Cunningham has chosen Drones in order to reflect the subtle and yet constant noise of the most dwelling places. Sadler’s Wells associate artist Keegan-Dolan is inspired by murder ballad, The Two Sisters. His interpretation of the dark folk song arrangement The Only Tune is sung live by Sam Amidon. Peck’s piece sees the New York City Ballet perform in London for the first time since 2008 in what will be a new composition.
The celebrated Sadler’s Wells and their anticipated Composer Series will see contemporary composers paired with contemporary choreographers in order to create new works.
